Is Yours A Low Output Culture?

Every organization has a certain culure or "way of life". One element that defines an organizational culture is work ethic. Some organizations are characterized by hard work and high levels of productivity while others have what we refer to as a lazy culture and the rest fall somewhere in between the two. Typically, managers and owners set the tone for the work ethic of the business through their own behavior as well as the expectations and subsequent level of accountability they instill. Organizations should strive to develop a culture of hard work and high levels of output. In many instances the employees and management believe such a culture exists when, in fact, something less exists. It is important to be objective in assessing what type of work ethic culture exists within your organization. How would you describe the work ethic and output within your business?
